How do I contact the shelter about Luca?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierischgeholfen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Luca on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Luca if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierischgeholfen e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Luca already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Luca isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierischgeholfen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Luca and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Luca

Mixed Breed · Male

Description Luca is a small dogman about 31 cm shoulder height, who unfortunately was no longer wanted by his former Romanian owner and thus landed with our animal rescuer. He is a very proud and self-assured little fellow who knows what he wants. He gets along well with other dogs in general, but he doesn’t really play with them – he’s “too charming and too much of a gentleman.” His character is a bit bossy, but that’s exactly what makes him special: a dog with personality and presence. When Luca senses that he is loved, his “big ego” melts away quickly, and he shows his soft, lovable side. People who accompany him with calmness and affection win his heart instantly. Luca is curious and closely observes what is happening around him. He often wants to weigh in on other dogs, sometimes a bit assertive – typical of a little dog with a big self-assurance! We are looking for people for Luca who enjoy showing him, with loving consistency, how wonderful life together can be. A home where he is taken seriously but also spoiled – that’s exactly what our proud little prince wishes for. He might not be unhappy if he can be a solo prince 😉 Update16.03.2026 new pictures, new video. A club colleague was on site and reports the following: Luca is incredibly open and people-oriented. Hardly had I arrived before he cuddled up directly and would have liked to climb onto my arm. A little charmer who simply loves closeness.

Beschreibung Luca ist ein kleiner Hundemann von ca. 31 cm Schulterhöhe, der leider von seinem ehemaligen rumänischen Besitzer nicht mehr gewollt war und deshalb bei unserer Tierschützerin gelandet ist.Er ist ein sehr stolzer und selbstbewusster kleiner Kerl, der weiß, was er will. Mit anderen Hunden kommt er grundsätzlich gut aus, doch er spielt nicht wirklich mit ihnen – dafür ist er „zu charmant und zu sehr Gentleman“. Sein Charakter ist ein wenig bossy, aber genau das macht ihn so besonders: ein Hund mit Persönlichkeit und Haltung.Wenn Luca spürt, dass er geliebt wird, dann schmilzt sein „großes Ego“ schnell dahin, und er zeigt seine weiche, liebenswerte Seite. Menschen, die ihn mit Ruhe und Zuneigung begleiten, gewinnen sein Herz im Nu.Luca ist neugierig und beobachtet sehr genau, was um ihn herum passiert. Gerade bei anderen Hunden möchte er gerne mitreden und ist manchmal etwas forsch – typisch kleiner Hund mit großem Selbstbewusstsein!Wir suchen für Luca Menschen, die Spaß daran haben, ihm mit liebevoller Konsequenz zu zeigen, wie schön ein gemeinsames Leben sein kann. Ein Zuhause, in dem er ernst genommen, aber auch verwöhnt wird – genau das wünscht sich unser stolzer kleiner Prinz. Vermutlich ist er nicht unglücklich, wenn er ein Einzelprinz sein darf 😉 Update18.05.2026 neue Bilder und Videos16.03.2026 neue Bilder, neues Video. Eine Vereins-Kollegin war vor Ort und berichtet folgendes: Luca ist unglaublich aufgeschlossen und menschenbezogen. Kaum war ich da, ließ er sich direkt kuscheln und hätte am liebsten auf meinen Arm klettern wollen. Ein kleiner Charmeur, der Nähe einfach liebt.Bitte beachten Sie:Die Rückmeldungen der Tierheime spiegeln das aktuelle Verhalten der hier zur

About Luca

What life with Luca looks like

Luca is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
